Abstract
Greed and Avarice represents a recurring topic in the castilian chronicles, specially in the late medieval cycle about the Catholic Monarchs and the War of Granada (1482-1492). A detailed analysis of this set of chronicles reveals the double standards of the authors and, above all, the arbitrary use of the accusation of greed, a resource that is only used to high- light the vileness of certain historical figures and, in another cases, when it is necessary to shore up the tone providentialist of the story associating the setbacks of war to the sins of the combatants.
